Description
- This patent application is a continuation claiming priority from a patent application having Ser. No. 09/906,180 titled “Portable Computer with Integrated PDA I/O Docking Cradle” filed7/16/2001, and issued as patent number ______.
- With the increased mobility of people in today's workforce, the demand for mobile computing and communication capabilities outside of the office has increased dramatically. Those inside the office, as well as those who typically work outside the office, often require the ability to communicate with others and other devices to access or transfer various data files. In response to this demand, handheld computing devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) have been developed.
- A PDA is a compact device that can serve various functions including a cellular phone, facsimile transmitter, personal organizer, and the like. PDAs typically include a stylus and/or a touch screen for user input, and may include a keyboard or a limited number of input keys. PDAs can be used for such things as sending and retrieving e-mail, Web browsing, and data-sharing applications over the Internet, intranet or corporate networks.
- Because of the compact nature of PDAs, the ability to enter data is somewhat limited. Touch screens and miniature keypads typically provide a single character hunt-and-click entry technique that is slow and not conducive to entering large amounts of data. PDAs have not replaced more traditional portable computers when it comes to such tasks as data entry, word processing, spreadsheet analysis, and so on. As a result, today's computer users often opt to carry both devices, a PDA to hold such things as appointments, tasks, and contact information, as well as a portable computer to accommodate more data intensive operations, such as word processing, spreadsheet functionality, and so on.
- Dual device users typically enter events into either the PDA or the portable computer and then synchronize the two devices so that both contain the same information. Today, a PDA is most commonly interfaced with a portable computer by connecting an external cradle or cable to the computer and then plugging the PDA into the cradle or cable. Another technique is to utilize a wireless connection (e.g., IR, RF, etc.) to interface the two computing devices.
- This invention offers another technique for interfacing a PDA with a portable computer.
- The same numbers are used throughout the drawings to reference like features and components.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a personal digital assistant (PDA) separate from, but dockable within, a portable computer.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the PDA docked within a cradle that is integrated into a palm rest of the portable computer.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the PDA being alternately docked or undocked from the portable computer.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of selected functional components of the PDA and portable computer.
- FIG. 5 is a process for operating the PDA while docked in the portable computer.
- A computing system includes a handheld computing device (e.g., a personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular phone, etc.) and a portable computer with an integrated docking cradle to dock the handheld computing device. The docking cradle physically stores the handheld computing device, facilitates data communication between the device and the portable computer, and supplies power to the handheld computing device. When docked, the handheld computing device can be safely stored and ported with the portable computer and can synchronize event data (e.g., calendar, appointments, etc.), email, and other information with the portable computer.
- The computing system is described in the context of a laptop computer with an integrated docking cradle adapted to dock a PDA. In particular, one type of PDA is illustrated for discussion purposes, although other types of PDAs may be used. PDAs are constructed in many different shapes and sizes, as well as with different functionality (e.g., personal organizer, browser, cellular phone, facsimile transmitter, etc.). Additionally, the computer may be configured to dock other types of portable handheld computing devices, such as pagers and cellular phones.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an
exemplary computing system 100 composed of a personal digital assistant (PDA) 102 and a portable computer 104 (e.g., laptop, notebook, etc.). Theportable computer 104 includes adisplay 110 mounted in a lid that is connected via a hinge to abody 112 to move between an open position (as shown) and a closed position where the display lid is folded onto thebody 112. Thebody 112 houses akeyboard 114 and a mouse/touchpad entry mechanism 116. Thebody 112 also defines apalm rest 118 juxtaposed with thekeyboard 114 and straddling the mouse/touchpad entry mechanism 116. - A
PDA docking cradle 120 is integrated into thepalm rest 118 to dock thePDA 102. ThePDA docking cradle 120 may be located on either side of the mouse/touchpad entry mechanism 116, although it is shown on the left-side palm rest for purposes of illustration. ThePDA 102 can be selectively docked within, or undocked from, thePDA docking cradle 120 as represented by thedashed arrow 122. - A
status display 124 is provided externally on the front side of thebody 112. Thestatus display 124 provides events and other notifications that are generated by the PDA when it is docked in thecradle 120. In this manner, thestatus display 124 can provide the user with relevant and timely information, even if the portable computer is in a suspend mode and thedisplay lid 110 is closed, thereby enclosing the PDA. One ormore buttons 126 are positioned near thestatus display 124. Thesebuttons 126 are used to acknowledge or modify events and information generated by thePDA 102 and/or theportable computer 104 and presented on thestatus display 124. - FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the
PDA 102 when it is docked within thePDA docking cradle 120. The PDA 102 includes ahousing 200 that defines adisplay area 202 with atouch screen 204. Various user-engagable buttons 206 enable a user to interact with the PDA. The user can use eitherbuttons 206 to make various menu selections that are displayed on thetouch screen 204, or physically contact the touch screen directly with a finger or stylus (not shown). - A
release latch 210 latches thePDA 102 into thedocking cradle 120. Theportable computer 104 physically stores and protects the PDA 102 when docked so that the user can easily carry both theportable computer 104 and PDA 102. The docking cradle is also in a memorable location that allows the user to readily locate the PDA when the user wishes to undock the PDA and carry it separately from the computer. When thePDA 102 is docked in thecradle 120, thePDA 102 is approximately flush with thepalm rest 118, thereby providing a continuous surface on which the user of theportable computer 104 can rest his/her palm when operating thekeyboard 114 and/ormouse pad 116. - In addition to physically mounting the
PDA 102, thePDA docking cradle 120 provides an interface that supports both data communication and power resources. In this manner, the integratedPDA docking cradle 120 offers the cradle functionality to interface thePDA 102 with theportable computer 104, thereby eliminating the need for external docking cradles. When docked, thePDA 102 is able to communicate with theportable computer 104, via either direct electrical coupling or other means (e.g., proximity coupling, IR coupling, RF coupling, etc.). ThePDA 102 andportable computer 104 can exchange data to synchronize various information, such as appointments, email, contacts, and so on. Additionally, power may be supplied to charge a battery resident at thePDA 102. - Both the
PDA 102 and thecomputer 104 can be operational at the same time. Alternatively, one of the devices may be operational without the other. The PDA's input mechanism (e.g.,buttons 206,touch screen 204, etc.) are exposed when docked to allow the user to enter data while thePDA 102 is mounted in thedocking cradle 120. - FIG. 3 illustrates one exemplary implementation of docking the
PDA 102 into thedocking cradle 120. Before the PDA 102 is docked in theportable computer 104, amovable platform 300 is positioned within an opening of thedocking cradle 120 to form part of the palm rest. Theplatform 300 is pressed into this opening via springs 302 (or other biasing mechanisms) and securely held in place by therelease latch 210. Therelease latch 210 is movable between an open position “Open” and a latched position “Latch”, with a spring bias toward the latched position. - When the user wishes to dock the
PDA 102, the user slides thelatch 210 toward open position “Open”, which releases theplatform 300. The user slides afirst end 304 of thePDA 102 under thehousing lip 306 into thePDA docking cradle 120, displacing theplatform 300 away from the opening. ThePDA 102 is then rotated down into the docking cradle, with therelease latch 210 being returned to the latched position “Latch” to hold asecond end 308 of thePDA 102 in place. ThePDA 102 is physically held in the docking cradle by thehousing lip 306 andlatch 210. In this state, thePDA 102 is safely stored and can be easily ported together with theportable computer 102. - When mounted within the docking cradle, the PDA's
first end 304 physically engages, and/or electrically couples to, one or moreelectrical contacts 310. Electrical contacts exposed on the first end of the PDA (not shown) transfer data to thecontacts 310 of the docking cradle. In other implementations, other non-contact couplings may be employed. For example, an IR transceiver may be installed at the PDA'sfirst end 304 to communicate with an IR transceiver provided inside the computer housing. RF transceivers may also be used to interface the PDA and the computer. - FIG. 4 shows functional components of the
PDA 102 andportable computer 104. ThePDA 102 includes aprocessor 400, memory 402 (e.g., RAM, ROM, Flash, etc.), aninterface 404, thetouch screen display 204,and theinput buttons 206. Theportable computer 104 includes aprocessor 410, one or more storages 412 (e.g., RAM, ROM, hard disk, floppy disk, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), aninterface 414, thedisplay 110, thekeyboard 114, themouse pad 116, and thestatus LCD 124. - When the
PDA 102 is docked in the palm-rest docking cradle 120, the PDA communicates with the portable computer via acommunication path 420 between the twointerfaces interfaces - When both devices are powered on, the user can enter data into either device, and the devices automatically synchronize any relevant data between both devices. For instance, if the user enters new contact information into the PDA while it is docked, the PDA will share the new contact information with the contact management software executing on the portable computer. In this way, both devices are kept current, alleviating the user from entering the information twice.
- Events, notifications, or other information generated by the
PDA 102 may be passed to theportable computer 104 via thecommunication path 420. The portable computer transfers the PDA-generated information to an embedded controller that displays the information on thestatus LCD 124. Since very little energy is used, the information may be transferred and displayed while themain processor 410 is in suspend mode. In this way, a user may be reminded or informed of upcoming events even if the portable computer is suspended and the display lid is closed whereby the user cannot see the PDA. - As an example, suppose the PDA generates an event pertaining to an upcoming meeting. The PDA transfers this event to the portable computer via the communication interfaces404 and 414. The event is then displayed on the status LCD 124 (e.g. “Mgmt Meeting 1:00 PM”) to inform the user. Since the
status LCD 124 is exposed externally of the portable computer, it may be used to communicate events to the user when the portable computer is folded shut and being carried. If the user wants more information, he/she can then open the portable computer and request more information from the docked PDA. Additionally, the user can utilizebuttons 126 to acknowledge or modify the information. Thesebuttons 126 are particularly convenient when the portable computer is closed because the user can handle the event information without opening the portable computer. - FIG. 5 shows a
process 500 for operating the PDA when docked in the portable computer. Some or all of the operations illustrated as blocks can be implemented in software stored in memory and executed on one or more processors. Atblock 502, once the PDA is physically mounted in the docking cradle, software executing on the portable computer detects the presence of the PDA. Data is then exchanged between the two devices to synchronize the information residing on each device (block 504). For instance, any new appointments, contacts, emails, etc., that have been received by either device since they were last synchronized are exchanged between the two devices. - At this point, the PDA may remain docked for some time and carried with the computer. The user may enter data into either the PDA or the computer. During this time, the PDA may generate an event, notification, or other information (block506). When this occurs (i.e., the “yes” branch from block 506), the PDA passes the event to the portable computer (block 508). The portable computer displays the event on the
status LCD 124 of the portable computer to inform the user (block 510). Thestatus LCD 124 is viewable even if the portable computer is closed and the user cannot otherwise see the docked PDA. The user may utilizestatus buttons 126 to acknowledge or modify the event depicted on thestatus LCD 124. The portable computer monitors for depression or activation of thebuttons 126, and handles the response accordingly (block 512). - At
block 514, the process detects whether the PDA has been removed from the cradle. If not (i.e., the “No” branch from block 514), the process continues to synchronize any data, entered into one of the devices, with the other device. For instance, the user might enter an event into the PDA while it is docked, and this event is shared with the organization software executing on the portable computer. Once the PDA is detected as being undocked (i.e., the “Yes” branch from block 514), the process ends. - Although the invention has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological steps, it is to be understood that the invention defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or steps described. Rather, the specific features and steps are disclosed as preferred forms of implementing the claimed invention.
